Thanks for all the thoughts guys.  1" plus the fiber won't fit.  I was thinking the fiber would be good because it conforms the the irregular shapes and gets rid of air spaces.  

 

The reflectix could possibly help with thermal bridging, as it would be the only insulation on the actual framing.

 

Poky, it was actually your buildup that got me thinking of using rigid foam.  Thanks for the inspiration! And using a table saw to cut the foam, I hadn't considered that option.... good to know!

 

Klahanie, yes, we did fix the roof leak by simply resealing all the roof screws with 3m 4200.

 

Huh, that info on needing an air gap with Reflecix is very interesting.  My conclusion would be that there is no point in putting it behind the 1/8" wall boards, as they would be touching the Reflectix.  However, using it on the ceiling would be useful as heat would radiate back down through the thin fabric covering it.  

 

More pix and details to come, eventually!

Couple of pix from today... gotta go back and pull more pix to include here, but thought I would indicate progress!  Two shots of the cabinets/drawers I built.  1/2 maple plywood.

thanks guys.  I was planning on staining them a dark walnut.  Not sure if I want to go that dark though.  Thoughts?

Vic,

Are you a cabinet maker in this or a previous life? Your buid looks really nice.

 

That green box looks like a Propex 2800 heater. Did you find that you need more heat than the 2000?

Is that location its installation location or just storage while you build out your unit?

 

How do you plan to plumb it into propane?

 

Where does the exhaust exit?

 

Paul

Vic take a piece of scrap cabinet wood and try different stains out. I like a hickory mix with maple. But try a bunch. To reduce blotching. Pretreat the ply with Sealcoat wax-less shellac mixed 50% with alcohol.... it will raise the grain so a 220 sanding makes big difference. The stain will go on evenly.

Impressive Vic. My 2 cents would be to leave it natural, light Maple. Where is your h20 tank? Is that a glass sink or stove? How deep are the cabinets up front? That is unique. Nice uplifting top. Are u planning a table? At DVNP, trading FWC thoughts, I saw automatic garage door foam used as under floor insulation. It is very thin sheet, cut to fit, interesting.
